First, once it is approved, your Form I-765 Work permit will allow you to work temporarily [1 yr] while your I-485 [green card] application is pending. Second, once it received your I-485 application, your F-1 student visa becomes effectively void since a F-1 visa and a Form I-485 are in conflict. Any previous violations of your F-1 visa is effectively forgiven based on your marriage to a US citizen and your I-485 application. The only issue you want to look into may be the continuing validity of your right to a scholarship and if your change of status from F-1 to green card holder may or may not have imperiled that scholarship.
